It's not quite a pun, but ....

Q: Did you hear about the racing snail who got rid of his shell? A: He thought it would make him faster, but it just made him sluggish.

Jump Jive and Wail - Louis Prima, Keely Smith with Sam Butera (sax) and the Witnesses

While we're doing initials: Back In Love Again – L.T.D. I played this in a band when it was popular

I love this LP. Musica Latina from Puerto Rico at it's finest. When gigging on cruise ships, our long port was San Juan. They were having a street festival in Bayamon, a suburb, and 4 of us took a cab out there. 12 Salsa and Merengue bands, and this one was the very best of the best.

Cry, Cry, Cry – Bobby 'Blue' Bland I bought that LP when I was a youngster, and still have it. There are song good cuts on it.

When having becan and eggs in the morning, the chicken made a contribution, the pig made a commitment.

On our 'house gig' there is a mixture of ages from teens to quite old. I'ts on a public beach. Most are tourists so we can use the same gags again and again. So we had a request for a Frank Sinatra song yesterday, "The Summer Wind" (nice song BTW). So I announce it "Here a song by Frank Sinatra, "The Summer Wind", also done by Metallica other their "Metallica Croons the Hits of Frank Sinatra" album. Usually gets a laugh if done at the right time and with the right audience. Often for sweet ballads, but the timing was right for "Summer Wind". Notes ♫

Spin The Bottle – Juliana Hatfield Three

And it's in the correct order, either direction.

River Man – Nick Drake

If he figures out how to do it, let me know. :D

Just part of the wrapper. Finally, a vegan burger without a boatload of chemical ingredients. ------ True story: I was on the road in a band, and we played a gig in Key West, Florida. The gig went long, and the only thing still open was a fast-food restaurant. The organ player was a "vegetarian". So he tried to order something without meat. Grilled cheese, anything, but the system would only take what the push buttons on the register described. So he ordered a cheeseburger with everything, but without the meat. IMO a person who eats cheese or eggs is not a vegetarian, just a picky eater. After all, what vegetable did that cheese or egg come from? Insights and incites by Notes ♫

She's Electric - Oasis

White Wedding – Billy Idol

I've read that Ray and Stevie both liked blind jokes. We should all follow that example and be able to laugh at ourselves. And we should not take offense when no offense was intended. I'm follically challenged, and do not take offense when someone mentions that I'm bald, instead I'll make a joke about it. When playing "Hi-Heel Sneakers" and I sing "Wear your wig hat on your head", sometimes I'll look at Mrs. Notes, lift my cap and say, "Can I borrow it?" Insights and incites by Notes ♫

Two guys walk into a bar, the third one ducks.

Minute by Minute - Doobie Brothers

Chase The Clouds Away – Chuck Mangione I heard part of this on the radio today, and had to hear the whole thing. It's been years, so it's like an old friend, I like how busy the rhythm section is, and how the legato melodies contrast with that. I also like the lower harmony part under the flute and following melodies. It builds to a nice climax, and then tapers off.
